In a lawsuit filed in California federal court on January 10, Woodall claims the company stole pieces of a screenplay he wrote for an animated film titled Bucky for Moana 2.
Disney sued by animator claiming the studio stole his screenplay for Moana and its blockbuster sequel Disney is being sued by animator Buck Woodall for allegedly stealing the idea for Moana 2, as well as for the 2016 original.
The lawsuit comes after a November court hearing relieved the studio from an identical lawsuit by Woodall over the first Moana film, as he had waited too long to file his suit, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Disney is being sued by animator Buck Woodall for allegedly stealing the idea for Moana 2, as well as for the 2016 original; still from Moana 2.
It also came to the conclusion that someone at Disney Animation TV could have seen Bucky's copyrighted materials before development on Moana began.
